Lê & Vi Asian Street Kitchen in Kassel

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was prepared quickly and very tasty!

Under all guns ‼️‼️😡 I would have preferred not to give any stars at all, because not even the slightest praise would be inappropriate here ‼️ The service is friendly but extremely unprofessional and on top of that very inattentive and "blind". We waited over an hour for the starter alone and another 1.5 hours for the main course. When the food was finally brought, it wasn't even the correct order. The quality of the food was at best the lowest Asian snack level. DISGUSTING, NEVER AGAIN ‼️‼️‼️

Very tasty vegetarian sushi! The summer rolls with tofu were also good, but they were open on both sides and therefore inconvenient to eat. Still a recommendation!

Taste average - I've eaten better at a snack bar. Price-performance not satisfactory.

A very nice restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere and an open kitchen area. The staff is very friendly. The dishes not only tasted excellent, but were also beautifully prepared and everything was fresh. We would be happy to repeat this again.

Very nicely decorated restaurant with a small open kitchen area. Portions were plentiful and very tasty. Price with starter and coffee afterwards at €25-30 per person. I will definitely come back and can only recommend it to anyone who likes Asian cuisine. 💪

The Saigon Restaurant in Kassel impresses with good taste and tasteful furnishings. The portions are generous - even if you're a good eater, you'll definitely feel full here. The “schnitzel” in particular was served nice and hot. However, the beef dish could have used a little more meat. The overall taste is pleasant, but you can tell that the dishes have been adapted a little to suit the German palate. A slightly more authentic preparation or at least the option of more spiciness would be desirable. Price-performance ratio is right, therefore a clear recommendation for anyone who likes Vietnamese cuisine - with small compromises in terms of authenticity.

Great food and service. Gladly again! 😊

Really delicious food, great service, nice shop.

Terrible service! Everything has to wait for a very long time. The alcoholic cocktail was made without alcohol.

When it comes to sushi, we've never been disappointed here.

After 45 minutes of waiting, we finally got our food. The starter was forgotten, which was brought to the table after the main course. The waitresses came to us twice with the wrong drinks - overall the shop and the service seemed completely overwhelmed. Vouchers are not accepted, even though it says online that you can redeem them in Saigong. Long discussion with the manager of the store, but unfortunately he wasn't willing to accept the voucher. I won't eat in Saigong anymore.

Very delicious food, excellent service.

Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly service. Fresh ingredients. Good prices. Gladly again 👍.

Nice atmosphere, fast and friendly service. The food was delicious, but the mochi as a dessert was a bit too “dry” for my taste

Unfortunately, the food wasn't really good.

It was the best bartender I've ever been to. Respect, really respect and the best food.

I can only recommend it! Very tasty, nice atmosphere and lovely staff

When my parents come to visit, Saigon is plan A when it comes to restaurants in Kassel. The selection is great and the dishes are really tasty. Every now and then I also order something to pick up, and the service is always great! Will come again!

Every time I've been here the food has been absolutely delicious and the staff has been great. As soon as you come in you are greeted warmly and given a table. You get your food pretty quickly and the staff check on you often. Plus, the food is pretty cheap and you can get a fortune cookie at the end.

Very simple preparation and ingredients. I don't need to go there anymore. Why Sagoin Chicken is 2 pieces of meat with a splash of sauce and the rest of 2 broccoli and cauliflower florets has no taste. And that for 15.5 €. Nope

Unfortunately too many criticism points

The ambience is very nice and has well-chosen homely furnishings. The food is mega!

The restaurant now has a new name – “Saigon” – and the menu has been changed slightly, with some dishes removed and others added. We used to love coming here to eat sushi, but unfortunately the quality has deteriorated a lot. It's unclear if this is related to the new ownership, but the sushi was definitely better under the old name. Now you almost only get rice - yes, the sushi are big, but they are made almost entirely of rice. And this rice has no taste: you only feel that it is sticky, but nothing else. The rice is simply tasteless. It's a real shame that this place, which we used to visit so often and with pleasure, has declined so much.

Enthusiastic staff, delicious food

Unfortunately the food was absolutely lacking

Good food, P/L fits so far. Ambience ok, staff nice

A super chic restaurant with flair in the middle of the city center. The staff is extremely friendly and the food is a dream at reasonable prices. Absolute recommendation!

Very tasty authentic food! Fresh, hot and beautifully presented. Pleasant prices for the city center, and with an extra cheaper lunch menu that you can use until 3 p.m. Service attentive and friendly. We will definitely come back for dinner more often!

My favorite restaurant for years. Drive an extra 45 minutes there. Surprisingly noticed a name change yesterday. Unfortunately, with the change the quality also went down. In short, the beef was subpar, my breaded duck on vegetables was a shoe sole. I loved this dish at le Vie. Service was ok. It's a shame I won't be coming back. P.S. The prices have also increased significantly, which is a disgrace considering the current quality.

To be honest, I didn't like it at all... I told the staff that my soup tasted like water and what did it do? She just picked up food from the table and replied hah, it didn't taste okay and didn't take anyone with her He paid attention to why the table was still full and nobody just said anything or asked anything... this isn't a restaurant 0

I can only agree with the other reviews. I went to Le&Vie once a week for a while. Very good cuisine, good service and fair prices. Now it's called Saigon and it will be my first and last time under a new name. The quality has decreased, the service is not good. The dish from the lunch menu, which cost around €9 back then, now costs €13.50 and the beef is of poorer quality. The good reviews are still from Le&Vie and have nothing to do with Saigon. I definitely recommend Pho Vang a few meters away, a world of difference

We had something delivered to us by the restaurant. One dish was delivered without a lid and therefore completely leaked in the bag. When we called asking for compensation, we were simply told that the delivery was no longer their problem and that they would therefore do nothing more. The service is really subpar and we should have left the 50 euros at another restaurant. So overall a really disappointing experience.

The Le&Vi has been gone for a few months and is now called Saigon. Unfortunately the two have nothing in common!! All the older reviews are from Le&Vi! I am more than disappointed with the new restaurant. The service is not good and the food is also worse. We had ordered: 1 large bottle of still water 1x Vegan Crunch no. 83 was ordered/shown exactly as it was and was written down as such 1x udon soup with tofu 1x Fried vegetables with tofu It started when we took the picture, despite showing it carefully, we got 2 small bottles of sparkling water. After we had them returned, one came with sparkling water, then the one we had ordered. Something like that happens, it's not a big deal. We continued with the starter, Vegan Crunch, which didn't come, but our main course did. The udon soup should contain mushrooms and king oyster mushrooms. You could look for these with a magnifying glass. There were visible vegetables and mushrooms in the LE&VI, which also highlighted the soup. When we asked when our Vegan Crunch was coming, the young waitress said it would be there soon. Vegan crunch? Yes. She came with something else that wasn't vegan. We kindly let this go back and said again that we had ordered Vegan Crunch. When it finally came, I tried it and found the taste a bit strange, and the tofu also looked strange in the sushi roll. After trying it again, I told my companion that it tasted like chicken. So I called the waitress again and asked... ohhh I understood Chicken Crunch!! Really now??? There is a reason why I order VEGAN. I'm not allergic to milk or gluten, but what if it happens to someone who is?! The excuse was that we weren't charged for the sushi, and I definitely wouldn't have paid for it. All in all, this was the worst evening in this restaurant. Even an email directly to the restaurant didn't give us a good feeling about going there again! The restaurant takes it as an operational experience to improve somewhat as the kitchen concept is being restructured. A restructuring has already taken place!! New and smaller menu, different portions, much smaller portions. The quality of the service can also be improved, especially when it comes to language and communication, so that such mistakes do not happen.

Quite okay, but would have expected more

The restaurant is very stylishly decorated but the food and service were rather disappointing. The service seemed a bit chaotic and sometimes unprofessional. It also took a relatively long time until we finally received our food. Unfortunately, the food was relatively boring and lacked any sophistication. There are also very few vegetarian options on the menu.

The black-haired waiter was the best. Very nice and the food was also very, very tasty. Highly recommended

It was a lunch that I remember very much because of the delicious food and the very polite staff. I give it 5 stars!

The food was really good, the portions were more than generous. In addition, the service was very friendly and attentive.

We spontaneously went in to eat, I've rarely eaten something so delicious, thank you very much 🙏

Very tasty sushi and summer rolls!

Super tasty ramen, also enough vegetarian options. Service very courteous and quick

Meat was hard, sauce was watery. Rice was very good and the vegetables were great. Service quick and friendly

I enjoyed the service of the sweet black haired Asian. He recommended the crispy chicken with curry and it was really really good. As a vegetarian, I ate meat for the first time in two days and it was delicious! Also praise Lobsters 🦞

Very tasty and inexpensive, the miso soup was excellent!!!

The handsome Asian man in the black shirt is very likeable. He recommended crispy chicken with tai curry sauce and it was so delicious! I would recommend it again and again

The sweet bartender suggested me the excellent crispy chicken with sweet and sour sauce and it was so incredibly tasty and the duck that I ate there... wow, the best thing I've ever had in my oral cavity. simply an 11 out of 10.

Unfortunately, the former le and vi no longer come close to its predecessor. Food poorly copied but more expensive for a smaller portion (I had the ramen soup). My wife wasn't happy either. We'll look for another Thai...what a shame

The broth of the soup was extremely neutral, i.e. without any taste of its own. The other dishes are okay, but there is little vegetarian choice. But the service is very nice.

Le and vi was better I don't know if they just changed the owner or just the shop name or what but le and vi was better but still great le chicken is very tasty

Today, after looking at the menu, I spontaneously decided to eat here. It was difficult to choose when reading ahead because everything read so deliciously. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather, the service was very friendly, and the wait wasn't too long. The food was very tasty and visually appealing. The cocktail as a nice coronation.

Bottomless. I don't even know where to start. There were hardly any people in the restaurant, but we had to wait 10 minutes before we could order our drinks. The drinks then came with the food, as we were able to study the entire menu during that time and ordered our food with the drinks. The food was terribly bad. I expected a lot because the restaurant is very well rated, but the food is simply worse than ready meals from the supermarket. As if they had simply warmed up the food. The sauce was liquid, not creamy. The food was accompanied by poor quality disposable chopsticks. These broke and splintered well. Spices are generally missing from food. The ramen was terribly bad and the noodles tasted like they came from Rewe. We didn't eat the food. We then went to another restaurant to get some good food. The service was nice. But it would be better if you replace the service. You have to know. Lg

Bottomless. There were 4 of us there. I ordered a ramen. The worst ramen I've ever eaten. No topping, tasteless, it had nothing to do with ramen. Apart from noodles and chicken broth there wasn't much to find. To take 15€ for this is bottomless. The only positive thing is that the food tasted as good as it looked. Service was clearly not bothered.

Mediocre food for too much money, soups with missing toppings but the rice is good.

Very very tasty. Large portions, beautifully presented. We will be back!

Anyone who doesn't eat here is very lost. Everyone come eat here!!

Super delicious food, staff are super friendly, great location, nice and quiet

Very good quality restaurant. The price is a bit too expensive, the price-performance ratio is not right. For the money the portions could be larger. Very nice service. There is still some work to be done on the ambience.

The food there was great, but the service was terrible.

I ate there on July 13th, 2024 and what can I say, the food is super good, there was sweet and sour duck and spring rolls as a starter, but unfortunately the service was rather the opposite.. it wasn't even asked during the meal or afterwards you still had to drink something. In addition, we waited over an hour for the food because the Suess Sauer sauce was empty... you could have said that right when you took your order and not while you were already sitting and looking forward to the food 😅

Very friendly staff, short waiting times for orders . Always freshly prepared and authentically recommended.

The food is very tasty and fresh. The portions are plentiful. I now prefer to eat there at lunchtime because it gets quite busy in the evening and unfortunately the service takes a little longer. Otherwise everything was great.

Good Vietnamese cuisine adapted to the western palate. The toilets were mostly clean and well-maintained. The guest room was invitingly designed. Only the outside area was a bit carelessly decorated and did not reflect Asian culture in any way. Price/performance was good and can be recommended.

Hello We went out to eat with a few friends today and you have to say that for an almost 5 star restaurant I definitely expected a lot more, we ordered sushi and it wasn't even rolled properly, it was already brittle and we were given raw avocado in the sushi packed in so it was really hard and hardly edible because we were hungry so we just took the avocados out and continued eating so we definitely expected more, especially at such a price so honestly it's outrageous. You'd better make your own sushi and you can get rid of the stomach ache afterwards also save 🙂

super delicious food, very nice service

Sushi weren't good. The rice tasted like nothing, probably because it was cooked with too much water. Algae on the maki was a bit tough. We also had a rice dish, which unfortunately wasn't great either - no deep, round taste, just more like salt. The service was all nice, the ambience was also nice, but if you like delicious food, I wouldn't recommend this place.

Very tasty with friendly service!

I never really write reviews, but what happened yesterday really doesn't work. I have been a regular customer at this restaurant for years and the food is also good, but there are even more good restaurants in Kassel. I go to a restaurant not only for the food but also the ambience. So I don't like being insulted by a waitress. After I and my girlfriend sat at another table because we were too cold at the previous table with the window open and we had also asked another employee, this waitress came running towards us like a bull, shouted at us and said we could go not sit two people at a table of four, which would be understandable if they had had a line of waiting guests. After I kindly explained to her that we would be leaving soon as we were almost done. She turned around, swore loudly and hit the table. The rest of the time she gave us bitter looks. Such behavior is really impossible. I can understand that it's not an easy job, but it's attributed to customer service and that's not how you treat customers. Especially not if you haven't done anything to someone

We wanted to eat sushi. When we went to place the order we were told sushi and rice were out. Okay, so we ordered something else. After we received the starter, we were again informed that my main course was also out. I wish I had known that beforehand so we could have gone to another restaurant. Unfortunately, the service staff was completely overwhelmed and overall very chaotic. So I went home hungry. Really underground.

The ramen and the green ice tea are highly recommended. The mochi was okay. The service is very attentive and friendly

The food was super awesome. And it also looked great on the plates of the surrounding guests. The menu offers a great selection. Service was also great. The service was quick and courteous. If one were to make any tiny criticism at all, it would perhaps be the noise in the store. You sit quite close, the bar with ice machine is open and so it can be a bit noisy at times. But compared to the fantastic food and service, it doesn't really matter.

So I wouldn't come to eat anymore. I had the duck... poor animal... The beer was the best!

Enjoy your meal. Not too expensive and your own food always comes quickly.

always happy....absolutely recommended

From a visual perspective, the food is great, the taste is average (with the exception of rice, which is good) and the price is okay. (A little cheaper would be appropriate in terms of price/performance competition) Staff nice but unusable: waiting time despite reservation, disorganized and there was no room for reordering and payment. + empty tables are used as shelves for dirty dishes. Ambiance: open kitchen + visible bar provides a plus point (you probably shouldn't present the Saskia water like that), otherwise average.

The food is very tasty and came quickly despite the store being full. I found the price/performance ratio to be appropriate. It is advisable to make a reservation to avoid waiting times.

I can only recommend a great restaurant with very tasty food and very, very nice staff😊

Nice and cozy environment. The staff was a little reserved and the food was not properly spiced. All in all the ingredients had a very good quality and I would definitely revisit and maybe try a different dish.

Das Essen im Restaurant war köstlich, jedoch war der Service mangelhaft. Die Kellner zeigten unfreundliches Verhalten und warfen uns unangenehme Blicke zu, als wären wir nicht willkommen. Leider hat der schlechte Service zu Kundenverlusten geführt und trübte das positive kulinarische Erlebnis.

Нам нашли столик, хотя людей било много... Подали напитки, пока ми вибрали что закажем ... Туалетная комната внизу, но довольно аккуратно и просторно... Еда, ми ожидали немного лучше качество, но в целом неплохо... Понравилось , что повара готовят в зале и клиент єто видит...

Kleine aber feine Karte, sehr sehr leckere Sushi

Das meistens zügig servierte Essen überzeugt mit einer subtilen aber breiten Würze, die im angenehmen Ambiente genossen werden kann. Lediglich beim Service gibt es großes Verbesserungspotential im Umgang mit Reklamationen: Nachdem wir zwei Gräten im Sushi fanden, wollten wir die Portion reklamieren. Das desinteressierte Personal hat von einer Ersatzportion gemurmelt, die wir allerdings ablehnen mussten, nachdem der Appetit vergangen war. Daraufhin war das Gespräch wohl beendet und unsere Bedienung verschwand ohne weitere Worte. Wir hätten uns an dieser Stelle über eine kurze Entschuldigung gefreut und einen anderen Ersatz in vergleichbarer Preishöhe. Dieser Dialog war leider nicht möglich, da wir unseren Wunsch gar nicht erst anbringen konnten. Insofern hoffen wir das Le Vi wieder besuchen zu können, sobald mit Reklamationen besser umgegangen wird.

Vorspeisenplatte für 2 Personen war gut und lecker. Die Pho und die Reisnudeln mit Rind und Salat waren allerdings extrem langweilig und lasch. Haben viel Sriracha dazugegeben. Die Nuoc mam, also Dressing aus Fischsoße war fast wie Wasser. Lieber eine Alternative anbieten statt das eine bis aufs unerkenntliche eindeutschen. Die Ebi Tempura waren gut aber mit einer Art Paniermehl...Panko oder Tempurateig zu verwenden ist heute eigentlich auch nicht mehr schwer.

Stylisches und gemütliches Restaurant. Leider ist der Service und das Essen nicht gut. Zunächst gab es bereits mit Ladenöffnung eine Hauptspeise auf der Karte nicht mehr, weshalb eine neue ausgesucht wurde. Leider wurde diese erst nach erneuten Nachfragen aufgenommen. Beim Servieren wurde dann noch die falsche Hauptspeise gebracht. Ein Ersatz hat über 10 Minuten gedauert, weshalb wir getrennt essen mussten. Ein Entschuldigung und guten Appetit war zu viel verlangt und das Essen wurde einfach hingestellt. Teller wurden nach dem Essen nicht abgeräumt, nicht nach weiteren Getränken gefragt und zum zahlen muss man an die Bar gehen. Auch das Essen ist okay aber nicht überragend. Hatte eine Avocado Soße bestellt und Kokos bekommen. Auch das Gemüse gleicht einer Tiefkühlkost. Allen in allem würde ich diese Lokalität nicht weiterempfehlen.

Zentral in der Innenstadt gelegen und vom Ambiente ein bisschen stylish, war das Le&Vi eine Adresse, bei welcher man schon ganz lecker essen konnte. Zuletzt war ich jedoch ziemlich enttäuscht. Tiefkühlgemüse (Karotten) sind nicht das, was ich auf meinem Teller sehen möchte, wenn ich vietnamesisch essen gehe. Das Hähnchen war knusprig, doch insgesamt war das Essen trotz Mango-Soße nicht so lecker, dass ich es nochmal bräuchte. Bei meiner Begleitung ließ das Gemüse auch zu wünschen übrig. Wenn der Pakchoi bereits labbrig in der Soße liegt, dann war er wohl zu lange im Wok. Schade! Die Limo entsprach auch nicht meiner Vorstellung, der versprochene Rohrzucker im Getränk fehlte (vor allem geschmacklich). Ich weiß nicht, ob ich hier nochmal essen werde, schade!

Ich war heute das zweite Mal dort. Das erste mal mit dem Veganen Stammtisch. Dort sind sie sehr vegsner freundlich. Es ist ihnen nicht zu viel ein Gericht zu vegsnisieren. Ich habe beide Male ein veganes Sushi gegessen. Das erste mal hatte ich eine Avocado Soße. Was ich sehr außergewöhnlich fand. Habe sowas in der Form noch nie gegessen. Heute hatte ich eine Bowle die auch sehr gut war. Mir haben die Frühlingsrollen darinne besonders gut geschmeckt. Auch die Ramen waren perfekt. Die Bedingungen war ultra freundlich. Weil ich es eingepackt habe, hat sie sogar gefragt ob alles gut war. Ich hatte nur zu viel bestellt. Werde sich noch oft dort essen gehen.

Wir waren dort, um ein Mal Ramen zu probieren. Anfangs sehr lecker, nach der Hälfte des Tellers einfach nur noch salziger Geschmack. Leider nur ein halbes Ei (welches gar nicht auf der Karte stand, welches aber traditionell rein gehört) und ein Stück vom Pilz. Mir schmeckt die andere Suppe mit Reisbandnudeln besser. Der Tee schmeckt sehr lecker und ist mit frischen Zutaten zubereitet worden.

Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und das Essen war auch mega lecker. Auch das Sushi war sehr gut

Zur Mittagszeit ein schönes Restaurant. Wir kamen 30 Minuten vor der Schließzeit und hatten das Gefühl es musste in der Küche schnell gehen. Das Gemüse nur grob geschnitten, Mangoldblätter wurden nicht zerkleinert, sondern landeten wie vom Strunk im Gericht. Die Würze war sehr gut und die Lassies superlecker. Die Bedienung freundlich. Ambiente ok.

Lage im Stadtzentrum nahe Friedrichsplatz,freundliche Bedienung, kurze Wartezeiten,mittags stark frequentiert,Essen je nach Wahl +/- indochinesischer Durchschnitt zu vernünftigem Preis.

War gut, Toilette unserirdisch Schlecht, obwohl gerade erst eröffnet. Lange auf eine Service Kraft gewartet.... Essen top

Wir kommen aus Berlin und haben dort eine riesen Auswahl an asiatischen Restaurants. Nichts kam Ansatzweise in die Nähe! Es war unglaublich lecker, alles frisch und schnell am Tisch. Wir hatten die Nr.37 für zwei Personen und dazu ein mal Inside-Out Sushi. Mehr als genug! Absolute Empfehlung. Das nächste mal eine Dienstreise in Kassel, und wir werde definitiv wieder hier essen!

Wow! 10/10 Das Essen war unglaublich lecker, ich habe die 37. mit Chicken und eine Insid-Out-Sake bestellt. Ehrlich gesagt habe ich nicht viel erwartet und wurde super positiv überrascht! Die Sauce war super Geschmacksintensiv, das Chicken super knusprig! Das Essen war so gut, dass ich es nur danach fotografiert habe 😅

Wirklich super lecker, wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Kann ich empfehlen... war aber nur einmal dort

Очень вкусно. Цены приятно удивили. Работают девочки быстро. Атмосфера классная! Нам с мужем очень понравилось. Придем ещё обязательно!

Das Essen ist leider nur okay...es ist nicht frisch und auch nicht besonders liebevoll serviert. Leider keine Empfehlung wert.

Kein Plan wie das Sushi da ist, aber die Ente und das Rindgericht waren nicht gut. Allein das „Holz” im Essen war jetzt nicht unbedingt so meins. Rind war todestrocken und faserig. Zum ersten Mal nicht aufgegessen und den Rest auch da gelassen.. Sorry schonmal für's Regenwetter.

Gut und günstiges Essen.. Schöne Lage

Wir haben dort einen schnellen und freundlichen sowie aufmerksamen Service genossen! Das Ambiente ist auch okay. Und das Essen war wirklich lecker und nicht überteuert.
